A CHAPTER
OF THE GREAT BUT DISASTROUS
CHICAGO WHEAT DEAL,
In Which a Cincinnati Banker Gets Ten
Years in the Penitentiary as
His Share of the
Deal.

CINCINNATI, December 13.-The great
est crowd gathered in the corridors Of the
United States court room since the OPEN
ing of the Harper trial assembled yester-
day morning, long before the opening of
the court. Judge Sage appeared alone.
Soon after the jury were seated Harper
entered looking pale and concerned.
Behind him came his wife looking as
though upborne by faith that in some way
she was to hear good news from the jury.
Mrs. Matthews, her sister, followed.
When they were seated the clerk tore
open the sealed envelope enclosing the
verdict, and read the fatal words: 1--WE,
the jury, find the defendant guilty as
charged in the Indictment"
This meant guilty on all the thirty three
counts left for the jury to act upon. Mrs
Harper sat as if transfxed, but Mrs Mat
thews found relief in tears. Blackburn
moved an arrest of judgment, which the
court instantly overruled. Then the dis
trict attorney moved for immediate SEN
tence, and that the sentence be cumula-
tive.
HARPER HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
Judge Sage overruled the motion and
asked the defendant if he had anything
to say before sentence was pronounced
upon him Blackburn said that the
defendant wished him to say that he had
nothing to add to what had been said
except to thank the court for fair and
Impartial treatment, and to ask that the
court be as merciful as circumstances and
the law would permit. The court directed
Harper to stand up. 1t was most
distressing scene. The strong man
stood erect with tears pouring
his cheeks, but no other sign OF emotion
save his blanched face; behind his chair
with bowed head sat his wife in an agony
that had no better manifest token than
wringing of her hands.

FIGHTING IN WATER.

Still the men fought in desperate
manner until the eigth round, which was
fought in water three inches deep all over
the ring. Dempsey's leg was now in a
terrible condition, and as it panied him
the more, he seemed to fight the more
desperately, if possible, than before, pun
ishlng Reagan quite severely. There was
no doubt by this time that Reagan was
no match for Dempsey in the matter OF
wrestling as the latter had thrown his op-
ponent with ease and vigor each time
they clinched. At the close of the eighth
round the referee stopped the fight until
another ring could be pitched on dry
land. Time occupied during these eight
rounds 18 minutes.

THE CONFLICT RENEWED.


At 1910 P. M. the fight was resumed in
a much better place. Dempsey went at
Reagan and aclineh ensued, during which
terrific in-ighting was done. It ended
by Dempsey baek-heeling Reagan and
going down with him heavily. In the
tenth round Dempsey smashed Reagan
on the ribs with his left and on the nose
with his right with terrific force, drawing
blood, which was claimed, but not allow
ed for Dempses, as Reagan had got first
blood in the second round. Reagan
fought fast and hard, and ELECTED much
praise. In the eleventh and twelfth
Dempsey pounded and threw Reagan
again. 1t was evident the latter had the
worst of the bargain in agreeing to the
London rules. He went on, however,
like Spartan. On the thirteenth Demp-
sey attempted again to back-heel his op-
ponent, who went down On his knees to
avoid fall.

to-day it is,represented by 100000 In
Canada and 100000 they claim, in the
New England States. They are ex-

already driven the original settlers

tore. On the Pamlico the miners
have been successful beyond their
expectations aud there Is a certainty
OF long continuance of profitable
operations. Not only the quartz in
place is valuable, but the loose earth
containing the remains of decomposed
lodges is in places very rich. In one
place a large quantity of this earth
has been sacked which from carefully
taken samples will average something
over $3.50 ton. A considerable area
yields loose earth which is worth
from $50 to $50 ton, and new sec.
tons of paying ground are being dis.
covered. As evidence of the opinion
of the miners, many locations are
being made, and in one place the
ground is covered with number of
partially conflicting claims in order
that none Of it may be left vacant.
A number of men are now making
money in the most independent of
all occupations, and the recent de.
volopments in widely distant portions
of the district, not simple prospects
but profitable workings, have placed
the future of Hawthorne district in a
brighter light than ever before. For
a long time while the prospects were
steadily favorable in many places
there was but one mine, the Lapanta
which was paying anything over the
cost of working. Now although that
mine Is temporarily closed there is no
doubt about its value in the minds of
those who have become familiar with
it through working in Its lodges, and
the other properties which are giving
profitable and independent employ.
ment to the miners have made this
district a most promising camp. Haw.
thorne district does not claim that gold
can be picked up without labor but il
Is conceded that there are many
places where money can be made
from the surface ground, and the
operations of the last few months
with the actual returns in bullion will
go far towards inducing the erection

alfalfa seed being put in with the
grain. The grain will average one
ton per acre; the wheat will go above
this yield. The alfalfa has come up
very thick among the gram. 1t is a
safe estimate to make that this al.

large number of shade and fruit trees
